Complimentary Story
August 2026In 1545, a Mexican Indian named Diego Guelpa discovered five great seams of silver in a massive mountain called the Cerro Rico. That discovery would change the history of the world. The Spanish conquistadors had conquered that area of the world for the Spanish Empire. The “rich hill” would ultimately produce 45,000 tons of pure silver — minted as coins and bars — and transported to Spain.
Spain’s infamous policy of using the conquered Indians of South America as expendable laborers enabled it to extract silver and gold in abundance. The monk Fray Antonio (1638) described the mine of the Cerro Rico: “Every peso coin minted has cost the life of 10 Indians who have died in the depths of the mines.” So devastating was this to the population, the Spanish imported African slaves. The air down the mine shafts was noxious, with constant exposure to mercury fumes. The miners descended 700-foot shafts on primitive steps. After their nightmarishly long 14 hour digging days, they were forced to climb back up the steps with sacks of ore tied to their backs. Rock falls killed and maimed hundreds. The silver rush produced “a mouth of hell, into which a great mass of people enter every year and are sacrificed by the greed of the Spaniards to their “god” (money).
“The love of money is the root of ALL evil,” should give us all pause. When subjected to the diabolically abusive effects in the cunning craftiness of brilliant — though depraved — money mongers, money dwarfs the horrors of the Cerro Rico!
What you read below should give you that “pause.” “The Science of Money” course will be offered to Christian people (free, go to
VisionViewpoint.com for September “Economics” course). To be forewarned is to be forearmed, economically. We are ALL subjected to the terrible onslaught of the Science of Money. Survival is no longer about finding a job. Survival is now a deadly game of greed and deceit by the perpetrators of the Welfare-Warfare society.

The slave system was ample proof the Spanish empire’s lust for money was corrupt and greedy. But it gets worse. Such sudden accumulations of money disincentivizes production. Having access to such a sudden supply of money induced Spain to pursue conquest, not production. The Bible took Israel in the opposite direction: production, not conquest (cf. Joshua 11:6). The Spanish monarchs used so much silver to pay for their wars, its purchasing power dramatically declined. Increase the supply (diluting its unit value — cf. Isaiah 1: 22), its value drops, buying less per unit of money.
Leftist economist J.M. Keynes wrote: “Inflation captures all the laws of economics on the side of destruction.” The Science of Money utilizes those laws destructively. Spanish inflation created economic disruption in the Price Revolution (1550) affecting ALL of Europe! Spain’s supply of money raised food prices in England alone seven times their value. Indeed, the abuses of the Money Science enable foreign cartels, central banks, and powermongers to indebt an immoral America, controlling our destiny.
“He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.” (Deuteronomy 28:44).
Christianity BUILT a productive middle class (cf. Proverbs 30: 8-9). Gold or silver, when used as God designs, provided a money system with the Science of Money useful in building a productive future. But, if abused by an immoral nation, then the Science of Money is used to deceive us, because prices are a powerful information system (cf. Ecclesiastes 7:12 — beyond the scope of one article). Also, when silver loses its “store of value” (gradual loss of value when saved) bitterness and distrust grow in the resultant confusion because money is supposed to be “trust inscribed” (cf. 2 Kings 22:7).
But trust is lost as people’s hard-earned efforts bring them both confusion AND less purchasing power. They find themselves on a vicious treadmill. The Lord’s warning:
“He brought down their heart with labour; they fell and there was none to help.” (Psalm 107: 12).
Authorities teach “a little inflation” is fine, indeed, “necessary.” Such is malevolent intrigue. The renowned economist and strong Christian, Dr. Hans Sennholz repeatedly wrote against the immorality of our money system, lecturing on the depth of diabolical abuses (again, see VisionViewpoint.com for course registration). The Spanish empire showed how the tyrannical government of Spain was enriched as it controlled the silver, allowing only certain lenders to monopolize loan markets. Private lenders were edged out, ending a free, competitive market. With control, usurious rates skyrocket, as prices do in any monopoly. The poor cannot get the private loans allowing them to honestly climb out of insolvency (cf. Exodus 22:25) giving inner city poverty STAYING POWER.
Women as slave “commodities” for abuse, trade, sale, invariably accompany the corruptions of debased money systems. Women as sex slaves have themselves been used as money all over the world for millennia. Such sex slavery thrives, as here in my own hometown in Wisconsin.
Abortion is a foregone conclusion as socialism rises in nations. Though not intuitively understood, it is a Money Science phenomenon.
EG Wakefield, in an economic classic (1830), compared Britain and America’s economies. Through the abuse of the Money Science, single girls in Britain were kept from most job markets, creating a cheap supply of desperate girls as prostitutes. One could find 100 prostitutes in every mile, he wrote. But in America, a Christian nation, one may find 1 prostitute every 100 miles.
Loan sharks invariably show up where government monopolizes credit and controls/drives out private lenders. Loan sharks, according to a 2007 Report by the Department of Trade and Industry, account for loans to 165,000 poor households in the UK totaling £40 million/year.
Before 1775, over half the people of New York City were put in debtor’s prison for debts of less than 20 shillings (the cost of several bushels of grain). They paid their debts by seized businesses and farms, sexual “services rendered” by wives and daughters, sons sold into merchant fleets.
It is obvious that ignorance of the Money Science cannot remain bliss for long. People need to be aware that being good at business individually is not sufficient to protect us from the massive impact of the Science of Money.
